Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, April 2. - Harry
Wilkes, the noted trotter who is to trot
against his record of 2:l44 to-day, has
become the sole property of the Sine
Brothers, they having purchased the
half interest of Frank Van Ness for
$1,000 Van Ness is, however, to train
and drive Wilkes during the coming sea.
son. Harry Wilkes trotted mile this
afternoon at the Bay District track in
2:l3h, beating his record by Il seconds.
An immense crowd witnessed Harry
Wilkes attempt to beat his record of
2:l4I for a purse of $4,000 at the Bay
District track this afternoon. The
track was fast. the weather perfect and
the horse in first rate mettle. All con-
ditions were favorable to the horse, but
still the betting was in favor of time at
the rate of five to three and four to one.
These odds were due to Wilkes ap.
pearing high in flesh. Van Ness
only gave five minutes warning ct
slow jog before scoring. He
passed the wire twice before nodding
for the word, when he went away at
moderate pace. Wilkes wonderful strides
deceived everybody, and few expected
him to be successful Rounding the
turn at the first quarter in 34:4 he
Strengthened his back and commenced to
move like a piece of machinery. He
made the second quarter in 33:8, and
the lower turn in 81. The crowd COM
menced to cheer and then almost
groaned as the gallant little horse
made a slight bobble movement,
SO slight that only experts detected 1t.
In flash Wilkes was himself again and
moving at two nine gait. He weak
ened, but Vanness' cheering straighten.
ed him out instantly, and he completed
the last quarter in thirty.two and
quarter, or two, thirteen and half for
the mile. As he flashed under the wire
wild cheers went up for several minutes;
the audience was carried away with de-
light, even heavy losers in the batting
joining in the general rel icing.
An enthusiastic lady attempted to deco.
rate the equine hero with handsome
floral collar. Harry Wilkes display ed
his fondness for floral diet by eating
most of this tribute. The official time
is undsputed, as hundreds of watches
were held. This is the fastest mile ever
trotted on the Bay District track, and
the general opinion is that Wilkes could
pull two seconds off it if pushed. He
made it very easily and is pronounced
the best horse in America to-day.
